A bit of this and a bit of that.

I was looking through my pictures, and I've found a few that I wanted to share, but there isn't really a cohesive story to bring them all together. So I decided I'd just toss them up here for you to see.

This is one of our usual taxi drivers. The military has its own pool of taxis, and since we were without a car for so long, the cab drivers saw us a lot. This man seemed almost surly the first time we rode with him, but now he will literally stop his taxi, roll down his window, and shout "LEAGAN!" if he sees us on the street.

One of the things I'll miss when we leave - random people in animal costumes roaming downtown. This one had pamphlets for a local cafe.

Banana milk! I really like this weird drink. Not as weird as some of the other stuff Korea has to offer, but still not something I'd seen in the states. It's sweet and refreshing - really good for a summer day.

This one is just for my mom - "Bubble, bubble, bubble." It was at a cafe in the Lotte department store, obviously advertising bubble tea. But it made me miss my silly momma.
This doesn't actually have to do with Korea, but Aiden looked so distressed to see that Dobby had been made into a fabric runner that I had to share it with you.



David and some men from the branch took the monkeys ice skating on Saturday. David is preparing to challenge Kim Yuna.

Our Awesome Interns

For the past three months we have been attending a Korean Cultural Club at the elementary school every Thursday, and yesterday was our last day. It's run by Korean interns, who put a lot of time and effort into preparing interesting and engaging lessons for our kids. It was a bit frustrating that hardly any other kids knew about the club, but then again I felt pretty lucky that we could spend as much one-on-one time with the interns as we did. 



Here is an example of one of the projects they did with the kids - teaching the four gracious flowers of Korea. 


We are definitely going to miss you guys! Thank you for working so hard to teach me and my kids!
